🧵 I just discovered there are reviews for my books on #StoryGraph ! Look at this one for Chalice of Caladriai! (Also... when someone *gets* it! It has always bugged me how books often completely ignore the fallout that any normal person would be dealing w/ after the experiences in the story!)😊🥹

This concept of "what happens *after*?" was a BIG part of Chalice of Caladriai. What happens after a kid is forced to confront an evil adult hell bent on destroying everything? How do they deal with that? And what if a friend paid a steep price for that "win"? What then?

How are the friendship dynamics affected? What about the supporting characters? What happens to them? These were all things that were dealt with in CoC, along with the usual mix of action, magic, and mayhem. I am SO HAPPY someone else wanted to know, too!

In the next book, Team Arcania will be dealing with repairing their friendships and the aftermath of book 4's cliffhanger ending (I love my cliffhangers, what can say? 😏) and then there's the two big reveals from CoC that are going to play parts in the rest of the series, too!

You can check out my review of Scarlet Morning by ND Stevenson over on the @kidsbooksirel website. Hugely imaginative with a creative blend of illustration and text.

I love children's books, one reason for it is that #KidLit always goes harder than it needs to, reaching deep into what we all -kids and adults- need to hear, saying it in the most accessible way.

My child within is in need of a hug and it's Thursday.
Time to read something beautiful. Something meaningful. Something that speaks to the child within.
